Trump Admin - Economy and Inflation
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
Yesterday, Newsweek ran a surprisingly encouraging headline: “Inflation plummeting, new data shows.” The inflation rate has plunged to its lowest point since December, 2020— when Trump was last in office. How about that?
Newsweek cited Truflation, a blockchain-based provider of real-time economic data. The non-governmental service reported yesterday that inflation has slowed to around 1.3%, falling below the 1.5% mark at the start of March, less than half of December’s 3.1% rate. Inflation is also now well below the Trump team’s stable target of 2%.
Whereas Biden-flation peaked at over 11.5% back in June 2022.
It’s horrible news for Democrats, who’ve been pathologically obsessed with the price of eggs and their terrors of tariffs. Even worse for the donkey party’s hopes for a Trump takedown, the Department of Agriculture reported that, having stopped culling defenseless hens for bird flu mania, the price of eggs is falling. A dozen eggs now costs less than when Trump took the oath:
Whoops. Narrative fail! It’s not just eggs, either. Behold this stunning narrative switcheroo, published by CBS-Boston on Monday:
Experts! Without experts, you might have thought that falling gas prices were a Trump promise kept. That’s why the experts need to run things, so they can make prices higher and educate we deplorable ignoramuses about all the benefits. You’ll pay more and be happy.
